Just had my first visit to Robert Country Vehicles. Left the car with them for a few jobs 🤞

Ok, I wasn’t wholly impressed by them. They ignored my request for replacing some very rusty exhaust nuts and bolts. And I was surprised that not only had they not washed the car but I found a few paw marks on the inside drivers side.

They didn’t recommend replacing the gearbox fluids (as I mentioned previously) and today I asked for a quote for supply and fit deployable steps and they won’t do it - said it’s too much agro. I was surprised by that. So the jury is out on them.

On a positive note, as of today, the RR appears to be using very little, if any, water 👍

Also, I should add, that I was expecting new pulleys and water pump, but they said all fine and just a new belt required - chirp now gone.

They could have added some jobs and I would have been none the wiser 👍

So where was the leak...?  Pete

Good point! It was the pipe going from the heater matrix to the engine V. I’ll dig out the part number later.

The leaky coolant hose was part number LR022730.

My wife can’t use a simple mag mount for her phone in the car as she uses a wallet phone holder and keeps tons in it - it’s over an inch thick 😳

So after a lot of searching for mounts that can handle really chunky and phones, I decided on the Brodie mount with Arkon cradle. I was worried about mounting a phone over the vents, however, moved it as far left is it can go and the vents are still useable.

The Brodit mount is also very snug fitting so I didn’t even bother using the adhesive pad to hold it. I think the phone position is spot on 👍

I cut the screws down as my OCD wouldn’t let me leave them like that! 😉

Continued with refurbing my steps, and got paint on them today.

Has anyone replaced the lettering on the steps? What with?

Thanks

I’m pleased with the results.
